"A very good season"

In a procession that has been endless, Impact players have passed one after the other to take stock of the 2015 season yesterday.
We also took the opportunity to award the player of the year for excellence in Ignacio Piatti.
"For the club, it's a very good season with a final in the Champions League and playoff participation, summarized Nigel Reo-Coker. We took the momentum as the season has progressed. "
Among the faces that passed, some might not be back next season.
Only 11 players are under contract for 2016, Laurent Ciman, Ambrose Oyongo, Patrice Bernier, Marco Donadel, Calum Mallace, Ignacio Piatti, Nigel Reo-Coker, Andrés Romero, Johan Venegas, Didier Drogba and Romario Williams.
The team will have to determine what it will do with the options of other players.
Autonomous
Two players are without contracts at the moment, Justin Mapp and Dilly Duka.
"We will talk to both players without a contract and we want them back," assured the CTO Adam Braz.
If Duka was already talking to the past, Mapp would like to forget a season punctuated by injury.
"There have been discussions, but no decision has been taken, Mapp said. But I want to come back. "
Mapp will be one of the few players to enjoy complete autonomy, a novelty in MLS this year.
"I am happy here and my first choice is to stay here, assured the winger. Autonomy's still intriguing after so many years in the league. "
Optimistic
Patrice Bernier, who signed a contract extension last summer, admits he experienced a difficult season, but is encouraged by the results of the team.
"This is the best of our four seasons, launched the captain. I have the same feeling that in 2012, I feel we have the wind in its sails and it will be positive next year. "
"We are really best at the beginning of the season, added Marco Donadel. You have to start the next cycle at this level and finish by being the best. "
Ups and downs
The 2015 season seemed very long with the campaign in the Champions League.
As Mauro Biello had mentioned the day before, the players have also admitted that the defeat in the final against América affected the performance of the team in MLS.
"We lived so high with a sudden death situation, said Bernier. Then we entered a season of 34 games in which every game was not important. "
"The hardest part was to play in the CONCACAF and then return to the MLS season, we did not have much time to relax," said Ignacio Piatti.
